Prayers for Earth Day 2021
Creator, we remember the beauty of your Creation and are saddened by the damage humanity has done to it. We thank you for and pray for organisations and individuals working around the globe – and locally – to restore the planet in the face of huge challenges and powerful opposition. We pray especially for children and young people in Kendal and across the world who protest and campaign – may the Spirit comfort them, strengthen them and give them hope in their hearts. Amen.
God has chosen the rolling tide
the flowing river
the rushing stream
the flooding burn
to hold all of heaven
and her promise
in the pouring
and stirring
and spilling
and running
comes the act of heaven
and her promise
so come and be soaked in the Spirit
as the story of salvation teems around us
parables whispered in the drenching
and baptism becomes the soothing rush of
heaven
and her promise
of Jesus
Amen
